Besan Ke Ladoo | Quick and Easy Festive Sweet Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups besan
- 3/4-1 cup ghee
- 1.75 cup powdered sugar i did slightly less
- ¾ tsp cardamom powder
- pinch of yellow color optional
- nuts optional
- 3 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee on low flame. Add the gram flour and start roasting. Keep stirring continuously to ensure it doesn’t burn. This step takes time — around 15 to 20 minutes — but the patience pays off with an irresistible aroma and deep golden color.
- Once the besan is roasted and releases a nutty fragrance, add food color mixed with water and mix. Remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Then add cardamom powder and mix well.
- When the mixture is warm (not hot), add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. You can also add chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round ladoos. If the mixture feels dry, add a spoon of warm ghee to bring it together.
- Let the ladoos cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to two weeks at room temperature!
